Hydraulic fluid for brakes
Rockshox oil
Reverb lever

Honestly?

If you're pissing brake fluid out on a ride, having some spare in your bag is not going to help you get home. Having two working brakes so that you have a spare is the solution here. And a reverb lever? If your dropper stops working, you just set it a little lower and keep riding - amazingly, people rode bikes quite effectively before dropper posts 🙂

What you've described here is possibly a "van stock" for an expedition, but definitely not for carrying.

"Gentleman's gentleman"

To do all the work for him 😆

Ha, sorry - I was a bit bored last night.
In reality I only carry a mini tool for local rides and pump, tube and tool for longer rides.

LOL, OK 🙂

It probably speaks volumes about the shit that MTB riders carry around that I would consider taking you vaguely seriously. It was the scotch egg that caught me out - far too reasonable!

I tend to just pack Chuck Norris into my backpack. That way nothing can stop me - punctures, broken mech, ninja army.
